The Prince George’s
County Police Department’s Homeland Security Division charged a man for making
a bomb threat against the Keys Energy Plant in Brandywine. The suspect is
22-year-old Raekwon Dixon of the 2900 block of Brinkley Road in Temple Hills.
Dixon is an employee of a construction company currently building the power
plant.

On December 8th,
at approximately 7:30 pm, a bomb threat was reported at the facility on North
Keys Road. Plant management ordered an evacuation. A search of the facility
recovered no explosives. Investigators with the PGPD’s Homeland Security
Division and members of the Arson/Bomb Task Force opened an investigation into
the origin of the threat. The task force is comprised of PGPD officers and
members of the Prince George’s County Fire Department.

The preliminary
investigation reveals a plant supervisor received a text that indicated six
bombs were placed throughout the power plant facility and were set to detonate
later that evening. Through various investigative techniques, Dixon was
identified as the suspect. He was taken into custody on December 12th.

“We want our
community to know that we take seriously any and all threats of violence in the
county. Even if the originator of a threat has no intention to cause harm to
anyone, he or she could still face extensive criminal charges,” said Acting
Major Zachary O'lare of the Homeland Security Division.

A search warrant
executed at Dixon’s home revealed no materials necessary to make explosives.

Dixon is charged with
making a false statement regarding a destructive device, making a threat of
mass violence and making a bomb threat.

We
have clear photos of the three suspects linked to a theft at a nail salon in
Brandywine. The theft took place on November 30th at approximately
8:00 pm. Our preliminary investigation reveals one of these suspects stole a
purse at the salon in the 15000 block of Crain Highway. The victim’s credit
card was then used to make fraudulent purchases worth thousands of dollars. If
you recognize any of these suspects, please call 301-868-8773.

Robbery Suspects

We’re also working to
identify these three suspects. They’re seen on surveillance video at a
convenience store – but we want to talk to them about a robbery in Landover.

he walked along 75th Avenue on November 8th. The suspects
assaulted the victim and stole his property before running off. The victim
suffered what appear to be minor injuries. If you know the identity of any of
these suspects, please call 301-772-4425 or 1-866-411-TIPS. A cash reward is

Prince George’s County Police Department detectives continue
to actively investigate the shooting of an 11-year-old boy inside of a home in Suitland Tuesday evening. As of noon
on Wednesday, the victim remains in critical condition.

The shooting took place at approximately 6:30 pm at a home in the 3000 block of Bellamy
Way. The preliminary investigation reveals the young boy was in the care of an
adult neighbor at the neighbor’s home at the time he was shot. The victim was
shot one time in the upper body. The involved adult, a 33-year-old man, told
detectives he was putting the gun away and was holding the handgun when it
fired one time, striking the victim. The neighbor is the legal owner of the
handgun.

Following the shooting, we have now learned the involved
adult grabbed the child and ran to the boy's residence next door and alerted
the boy's mother who was at home. The man then drove the victim and his
mother to nearby Joint Base Andrews in search of urgent medical care. The
involved adult is retired from the military and has been cooperating with
our detectives. After receiving emergency medical care at Joint Base
Andrews, the victim was taken to Children’s National Medical Center.

When detectives complete their investigation into this
shooting, the findings will be presented to the State’s Attorney’s Office to
determine whether any criminal charges will be filed.
